Some time ago we built a page on the URC website offering different prayers for the seasons of the Church’s year but it’s been rather dormant.  I’ve now started to add a range of prayers used by Daily Devotion service leaders over the last three years.  I’ve completed the Lent and Palm Sunday sections and, over the next few weeks, will add Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost.  You can have a look at what’s already been loaded here.  Please do feel free to use anything that’s helpful to you in either public or private worship. With every good wish Andy The Rev’d Andy Braunston Minister for Digital Worship <!– –> <!– –> <!– –> Follow on Facebook Follow on Twitter Podcast Share This on Facebook Tweet this Forward to a Friend <!– –> Copyright © 2023 United Reformed Church, All rights reserved.
